Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.


Standard options: 
A. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.


Thought: This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.
Answer: A

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.
shot_info: im_task_001477

K
options: Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Solve linear equations in one variable.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to practice solving an equation for an unknown value while thinking about a coordinate pair,
\((x,y)\)
, that makes the equation true. While the steps to solve the equation are the same regardless of which value of
\(x\)
students choose, there are strategic choices that make solving the resulting equation simpler. This should be highlighted in the discussion.
Launch
Encourage students to not pick 0 for
\(x\)
each time.
Student Facing
For each equation choose a value for
\(x\)
and then solve to find the corresponding
\(y\)
value that makes that equation true.
\(6x=7y\)
\(5x+3y=9\)
\(y+5-\frac13 x=7\)

Activity Synthesis
Collect the pairs of
\(x\)
’s and
\(y\)
’s students calculated and graph them on a set of axes. For each equation, they form a different line. Have students share how they picked their
\(x\)
values. For example:
For the first problem, choosing
\(x\)
to be a multiple of 7 makes
\(y\)
an integer.
For the last problem, picking
\(x\)
to be a multiple of 3 makes
\(y\)
an integer.
